Pep

Some days, you just need a pep talk. Small business can be a lonely business if you let it. It's easy to get caught up in the hard work and long hours, and forget to let people in.

Sure, I love design and paper and ink and printing. But those are just things. The most rewarding part of my job are the relationships I've built and the people I get to bring into this space. I love having friends, interns, students and family here to share, chat and help out.

A few weeks ago, a class from SPU came to the studio for a tour. It was great to have them here, and great to share the space, our story, and our work with them. Recently, (on just the day I really needed a pep talk) I got this sweet card in the mail. It meant so so much to know that they enjoyed coming here, and were inspired by what they saw. How sweet is this card? I want to hug every one of them.
